Revisiting a couple of Sippin' Safari cocktails I haven't had in a while.

Now: Mai-Kai Demerara Cocktail
On Deck: Kon-Tiki Guatemala Cooler
In the Hole: Luau Jet Pilot

If I'm in the mood for a Hawaiian-style Mai Tai, laziness will usually lead me to the Damon's version from Taboo Table. But if I have the energy to take on three additional ingredients, this is a good one.

Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon. I've not long in this country so I'm going through the expensive stuff as quickly as possible. Early this week I finished a 37 year old rhum. The things I have to do...

Continuing with the mini-stomp through Sippin' Safari, the cocktails thus far this evening have been:

• Nui Nui

• Pearl Diver's Punch (Probably a Beachcomber's Coffee Grog in the near future to use up the Grog Batter)

• Donga Punch with St. James Royal Ambre

On the subject of Rhum St. James. . . is there any truth to the rumor that their products will soon not be coming to the States?? I slightly prefer Clement VSOP in most cocktails but I love the Royal Ambre in a Donga. And now that I am finding it for less than $20 it's something I always try to have on the shelf. Occasionally I will shell out for St. James Extra Old, and very occasionally for the Hors D'age, but I would certainly miss them if I couldn't get them.
